But if the registration process get difficult, I think we would loss potential user too.
If performing the simple task of verifying your registration email is to difficult for someone they are going to have a real hard time getting involved in crypto or anything in life for that matter. Sandy's point is valid, considering the only people this would really affect are people creating multiple low level accounts for spamming, or posting malware links.
You can see it from time to time when a massive number of old threads you've commented in get bumped by some random post with a business link is spouting the same garbage, or multiple accounts at the same time.

I do not know what is the purpose of allowing any email which may not exist in registration process but it may be one of the reason of allowing anonymous details.
Using an email address which you think does not exist to register your account is risky, it's usually better to create a random email address for your account if you want it to stay anonymous.

One can create 30 accounts here in probably 5 minutes or less.
Creating 30 accounts is not against the forum rules per se. The forum is designed to be as free as possible and welcoming to new members. Such junk accounts would likely get nuked eventually.

One can create 30 accounts here in probably 5 minutes or less.  There isn't even an email confirmation needed to create an account so one can just put in a random anything.  At least confirm someone's registration email actually exists. I think that will help avoid a lot of junk users.  Def not foolproof but way better than not even confirming an email one uses even if it's a "throwaway" email.
